The definitive story of the making of 2001: A Space Odyssey, acclaimed today as one of the greatest films ever made, and of director Stanley Kubrick and writer Arthur C. Clarkeā€”ā€œa tremendous explication of a tremendous filmā€¦.Breathtakingā€ (The Washington Post).

Fifty years ago a strikingly original film had its premiere. Still acclaimed as one of the most remarkable and important motion pictures ever made, 2001: A Space Odyssey depicted the first contacts between humanity and extraterrestrial intelligence. The movie was the product of a singular collaboration between Stanley Kubrick and science fiction visionary Arthur C. Clarke. Fresh off the success of his cold war satire Dr. Strangelove, Kubrick wanted to make the first truly first-rate science fiction film. Drawing from Clarkeā€™s ideas and with one of the authorā€™s short stories as the initial inspiration, their bold vision benefited from pioneering special effects that still look extraordinary today, even in an age of computer-generated images.

In Space Odyssey, author, artist, and award-winning filmmaker Michael Benson ā€œdelivers expert inside stuffā€ (San Francisco Chronicle) from his extensive research of Kubrickā€™s and Clarkeā€™s archives. He has had the cooperation of Kubrickā€™s widow, Christiane, and interviewed most of the key people still alive who worked on the film. Drawing also from other previously unpublished interviews, Space Odyssey provides a 360-degree view of the film from its genesis to its legacy, including many previously untold stories. And it features dozens of photos from the making of the film, most never previously published.

ā€œAt last! The dense, intense, detailed, and authoritative saga of the making of the greatest motion picture Iā€™ve ever seenā€¦Michael Benson has done the Cosmos a great serviceā€ (Academy Award-winning actor Tom Hanks).
